Signal
Egyptian ISPs blocked Signal in December 2016; Open Whisper Systems initially bypassed this using domain-fronting.

Viber
Egypt does not impose a blanket ban on Viber, but authorities have repeatedly throttled or interfered with VoIP features on messaging apps including Viber and WhatsApp; text messaging generally works. Making international calls over unlicensed VoIP is technically illegal under Article 72 of Egypt's Telecommunication Regulation Law.
